abstract = {The goal of the proposed master thesis is to define an architecture that enables visual prototyping of real-time audio applications and plug-ins. Visual prototyping means that a developer can build a working application, including user interface and processing core, just by assembling elements together and changing their properties in a visual way. Specifically, this research will address the problem of having to bind interactive user interface to a real-time processing core, when both are defined dynamically, the set of components is extensible, it allows bidirectional communication of arbitrary types of data between the interface and the processing core, and, it still fulfils the real-time requirements of audio applications.

@inproceedings { arumi_DataFlowPatternLanguage,
title = {A Data Flow Pattern Language for Audio and Music Computing},
author = {Arumí, P. and Garcia, D. and Amatriain, X.},
year = {2006},
abstract = {This article describes a set of patterns the authors have seen emerging during years of experience developing assorted applications in the sound and music domain and receiving influences from theoretical models, existing systems, and colleagues. Those patterns aim at offering a generative pattern language that falls within a generic data flow architecture. Regardless the audio domain origins of the patterns, we foresee that they have applicability in other domains. Contributions of this paper are General Data-flow Patterns, that address problems about how to organize high-level aspects of the data-flow architecture, by having different types of modules connections; Flow Implementation Patterns, that address how to physically transfer tokens from one module to another, according to the types of flow defined by the "general data-flow patterns''. Tokens life-cycle, ownership and memory management are recurrent issues in those patterns; and finally, Network Usability Patterns, that address how humans can interact with data-flow networks.},

title = {CLAM A Framework for Efficient and Rapid Development of Cross-platform Audio Applications},
year = {2006},
abstract = {CLAM is a C++ framework that offers a complete development and research platform for the audio and music domain. Apart from offering an abstract model for audio systems, it also includes a repository of processing algorithms and data types as well as a number of tools such as audio or MIDI input/output. All these features can be exploited to build cross-platform applications or to build rapid prototypes to test signal and media processing algorithms and systems. The framework also includes a number of stand-alone applications that can be used for tasks such as audio analysis/synthesis, plug-in development or metadata annotation. In this article we give a brief overview of CLAM's features and applications.},

abstract = {Aquest article presenta una eina que hem desenvolupat al Grup de Tecnologia Musical de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Es tracta d'una eina extensible d'extracció i edició d'informació de la música anomenada CLAM Music Annotator La darrera versió incorpora un extractor d'acords que amplia l'interés de l'eina més enllà de l'ús científic pel que estava pensat. Aquest extractor d'acords pot ser molt útil per als músics i aficionats que fins ara havien de treure els acords de les cançons d'oïda amb prova i error. L'article explica els principis de funcionament del programa i com es pot adaptar a diferents escenaris. També s'explica el cas concret de l'extracció d'acords, es fa una discussió tècnica del disseny, tecnologies emprades i lliçons apresses i, finalment, es comenta quin sera el camí probable que pendrà l'eina en el futur.},

year = {2005},
abstract = {MUCOSA (Music Content Semantic Annotator) is an environment for the annotation and generation of music metadata at different levels of abstraction. It is composed of three tiers an annotation client that deals with micro-annotations (i.e. within-file annotations), a collection tagger, which deals with macro-annotations (i.e. across-files annotations), and a collaborative annotation subsystem, which manages large-scale annotation tasks that can be shared among different research centres. The annotation client is an enhanced version of WaveSurfer, a speech annotation tool. The collection tagger includes tools for automatic generation of unary descriptors, invention of new descriptors, and propagation of descriptors across sub-collections or playlists. Finally, the collaborative annotation subsystem, based on Plone, makes possible to share the annotation chores and results between several research institutions. A collection of annotated songs is available, as a `starter pach' to all the individuals or institutions that are eager to join this initiative.},

year = {2004},
abstract = {In this workshop we will demonstrate three applications for content-based retrieval and transformations of audio recordings. They illustrate diverse aspects of a common framework for music content description and structuring implemented using the MPEG-7 standard. MPEG-7 descriptions can be generated either manually or automatically and are stored in an XML database. Retrieval services are implemented in the database. A set of musical transformations are defined directly at the level of musically meaningful MPEG-7 descriptors and are automatically mapped onto low-level audio signal transformations. Topics included in the presentation are (1) Description generation procedure, manual annotation of editorial description the MDTools, automatic description of audio recordings, the SPOffline; (2) Retrieval functionalities, local retrieval SPOffline, remote retrieval web-based retrieval; and (3) Transformation utilities the SPOffline.},

L'objectiu d'aquest treball és dissenyar, per a una llibreria d'aquest tipus, un sistema activació i passivació, en XML, de les seves dades de processament, i, habilitar l'ús d'XML per altres funcionalitats com ara definició o de sistemes, configuració de processos i represa de càlculs posposats. S'ha volgut minimitzar la feina a fer pels usuaris de la llibreria i els creadors de nous objectes, automatitzant la programació, però, tot donant la possibilitat de personalitzar els formats de sortida.

year = {2001},
abstract = {This paper discusses about benefits derived from providing XML support to the component based framework for audio systems that we are developing. XML is used as data format for persistency, visualization and inter-application interface. Direct XML support is a very useful feature for an audio framework because of the popularity of the XML format as data interchange format, and the introduction of MPEG7 standard, an XML based description format for multimedia content. Formatting task has been distributed along the system objects in a compositional way, making easy to format a single object from its parts. The system minimizes the overhead added to a class and the programmer effort to support XML I/O. A default XML implementation has been provided for most of the future data structures, giving the chance to customize it. The system has been designed to be reused with other formats with a minimal impact on the system.},
